The End

… of 2016.

We were able to get in yet another Christmas Circle Game Party.  Visitor Blim and I had some good times, evidenced here:

We got in 3 circles before going out to lunch:

Pretty nice, right?

We then hosted the annual welcome dinner party for Dave Smart.  Got in the first rehearsal of this years’ programme, had a Flavourhast worthy Persian Goat Curry and watched Now Today Week 2015.  No photo’s, but some early scenes of Now Today Week 2016 were filmed.

The OFFICIAL Formal New Years Eve Dinner Party with Concert. The best to date:

But, it made for a very powerful performance.  The band has never sounded better.  So great to have Tech Support back in the act.  No one can improvise of the auto harp like him.  The Nightmare Rock really came alive. Not pictured is “Z Ray”, who played lead guitar for the encore “As You Are”:

Let’s hope for a healthy, prosperous, present 2017, riddled in triumph and Good Times.
